While searching for some gorgeous spaces today, I rounded some favorites and noticed the similar tone of blue in the two images. The deep color must be calling to me today!

None of these images have much in common, aside that they’re pretty places. They are each from a different room – one the bathroom, another from the kitchen, the third from a seating area and the fourth an open living room. Back to the blue, I was really in the mood for some bright white rooms today, but I felt like I’ve covered that before so I went for some color and unintentionally went for the blue and threw in some seafoam green.

Blue is a color I have a lot of in my house, but the seafoam green – not so much. However, I love it in that bathroom! How about you? Are you a seafoam green kind of person?

Happy Friday!! Hope you enjoy the first weekend in May.

Here’s this week’s Weekly Six:

1 – I had a similar salad last week in NYC made from shaved brussel sprouts, and similar to this recipe. It was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to recreate it at home.

2 – Wouldn’t it be fun to wear a giant hat like this every once and a while?

3 – Beautiful and bright white dressing room. How about those flowers?

4 – Light up your porch with this awesome mat.

5 – Great use of small space with this shelf and painted console.

6 – What do you think of tissue paper flowers on display?

Have a great weekend!

Going off of yesterday’s product pick and my previous weekend in Miami, now I want to give my backyard and outdoor space a makeover.

So, like any normal person would, I went on Pinterest for some inspiration and here are a few things my backyard now needs:

1 – A hot pink tufted lounge area over both sides of my pool.

2 – A gigantic fire place surrounded by modern outdoor sofas.

3 – A sunken dining area around an in-ground pool – so we can eat and swim and all be at the same level. This will make the hot pink lounge areas easier to implement as well.

4 – Outdoor mirrors. How come I’ve never seen this before? Have you seen this before? Love it!!

Which of these would you include in your backyard??

Right now I am insanely jealous of anyone sitting on a beach or even looking at a beach. Even if it’s from their office window. After spending a long weekend in Miami, I’m missing the bright blue water and the warm sand. And this week’s product pick isn’t helping my wanderlust…

The F3 is designed by Fabio Novembre for Vondom. From Contemporist, “F3 is based on mathematical surfaces that flows freely until reach the perfect function of each element. An apparently simple design that requires an accurate study of engineering and high precision, achieving a stackability concept never seen before in rotomolding.”

How badly do you wish you were lounging on one of these chairs right now? Happy Hump Day!!

In the mood for a weekend project? The acrylic bubbles and some gold leaf add a great touch to this simple IKEA lamp shade. I would love a larger version over my kitchen table, but really this lamp would look great anywhere. And to know you did it yourself in a quick and easy project would make it look even better!

For the tutorial on how to make this yourself, check out Pudel-design. Where will you put it??

Lately, I can’t get enough of a light pink and gold color combination. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this above. My light pink obsession is stemming from the color of my bridesmaids’ dresses, and gold I just love. Together, they’re soft and magical. Not exactly modern, but still feminine and often glamourous.

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about painting some walls pale pink. Clearly, I can’t get this pink out of my mind! The only way I could have it in my life is if I were to move into a new home and had a small office area of my own. If that happens, the office would be pale pink with lots of gold and lucite accents – to give this color combo a modern angle. And probably some sort of fur like that nursery above.

What are your thoughts on light pink and gold? Too pale and feminine or just right?
